    I think Calzaghe will win by quite a margin and he will therefore not get credit because Kessler will be decreed at being overrated.

      Exactly, I got love for both of them that's why I'd hate to see them lose their undefeated streaks! Let's pray for a draw

        Calzaghe by stoppage, probably around the 6-8 round mark.

        It'll be Veit II all over again.

          kesslers robotic like style will do nothing but play into calzaghes hands.
          im expecting calzaghe to start the fight fast and meaningful and sting kessler with a few flurrys to win the first roun. expect much the same up until round 5 i think kessler will get dropped but get up to lose a lopsided decision but i will be betting on a late round stoppage

            Kessler's right hand is what Calzaghe should worry about.. Kessler has the best defensive of the two, and that jab, even if you can avoid it, demands a lot of attention.

            My prediction:
            Calzaghe gets frustrated from chasing Kessler around, looses his mind like so often before, takes huge risks, and Kessler ending it with a straight right. Fight over.

              I dont think Kesslers defence is good at all....having said that, Calzaghe has lapses of concentration, but Calzaghe's defence in my opinion is better than Kesslers.

              I see Calzaghe winning this one with a TKO in round 6 ..with the referee saving Kessler for another day.

                Hard one to choose, but i think Kessler would win a close decesion.

                  I hope Cal win by quite a margin or knocks him out or he'll get robbed in demark. Kesslers defence isnt that great as made out. Cals is better imo, when hes not showing off like in his last couple of fights.

                    i dont think in terms of styles this will go the distance, in fact i think it could be a very short night

                      It's really quite simple - Kessler is very much a jab-first fighter, while Calzaghe, due to his fast movement, fast hands and the movement he uses (shifting or spinning), has never been hit with jabs

                      Don't be suprised if Calzaghe won every round
                      I tend to agree, the fact the fights in denmark wont affect my pick, i havent decided exactly what that is yet, but right now i can see a clear decision win for JC.
